Now this tune is a serious rocker!
Im all ready shakin up the the house!
The drums are just pure violence on tape, the wind pads in the background are a nice touch. You can definately hear the bad company influence on this one. 10 out of 10 your the only person to get such a good rating because this the is only professional sounding track!

Cool vocals, insane drum beats, and the music keeps on changing so it doesn't get boring for a second. the pads are lush i like the koto style sound in the background.
Just great!

Darkside!

I like the intro, nice sample work.
Wow i think i might be punching above my weight on this site, deep ,dark ,dirty ,nasty!
The compression is good and the sub bass is perfect. The sound fx really add to this track and bring it all together nicely.
cool drop too!
I dont think i can fault this track at all ecexpt i would have made it 5bpm faster...but thats what turntables are for!
nice one!

This more my style. Fast new skool DNB!
You can hear the jungle influence coming through mixed in with some techno sound fx.
The bass is dark and deep, the snares are spot on too. Alround a pretty god darn good track!

Gimme The Weed rmx by King Louis: This is the first half

Submitted by DARK GENIUS on Wed, 2007-08-01 15:28.

This is the first half decent track i have listened to so far! The drums are tight...good compression! The bass is clean and light, and the vocals at spot on jungalistal flavah!

Passive Aggressive by Abnormal Experimentalist: I have to brutally honest,

Submitted by DARK GENIUS on Wed, 2007-08-01 15:26.

I have to brutally honest, in not a massive fan of this track. Very repetitive and the drum loops wern't chopped up very much. But i did like the vocals, i could just about understand what they were saying!

Core Fractal by Contayjen: Nice introduction but the

Submitted by DARK GENIUS on Wed, 2007-08-01 15:21.

Nice introduction but the track just seems to stay the same the whole way through. The drop is nice but it goes back to the original beat and melody. The bass line is cool but i would use a lower pitched instrument.
